From the bible, but don't remember which verse it was, we wanted a band name which reflects the situation of this world in this moment, and sadly always violence and murders have been there, the verse says that everyone would kill everyone, even your family and friends, so that's why Kill Your Darling came out as the band's name.

Starting from the variety and the freedom Progressive Hardcore could let us make whatever we want with our music and the amazingly way of reflects our consciousness feels and imagination it's what makes it perfect; we're playing something different, fulfilled with feelings and different types of influences.
